I'm graduating this December with a Bachelor degree in Business Management. Can I use OPT to self-employed with a wedding studio, which I want to do once I come back home? My study focuses on entrepreneurship which I think is relevant to my plan of studio business. Doing photography freelance business includes many aspects I've learned at school, and I hope experiencing running a business here will help me to do it better for the real time.
I also know the legal side is much important. Please advise.
Thank you.

You would need to ask your DSO. Your work must relate to your major, and it is the DSO that determines that for purposes of SEVIS.
